Sagacious and unbiased political observers, in predicting the win¬ ners ot thft forthcoming B'nai B'rith elections Tuesday night at the Jewish Center, are unanimous in their contention that the candi¬ date who gets the most members to vote at the meeting will be the victor.
The four candidates have prom- iaea of many votes; the final out¬ come will depend upon how many of those pledges are fulfilled.
So far, the pre-election cere- monies have been typically excit¬ ing. Herbert Cun:imlna and Carl Mellman are conducting cam¬ paigns for the office of guardian (and eventual presidency of the Lodge), while Stanley Jay and Arthur Pollack ure candidates for secretary.. Election night promises to be I colorful and dramatic as the hot campaigning reaches its cllmiix.
There's to be free refreshments (kosher hot dogs and soft drinks). Polls will open at 7:30 p. ni. and the meeting will commence at 8:15. Biographies have been publlahed In the Chronicle on candidatea Cummina, Mellman and Pollack. Here is aimilar background data on Candidate Stanley Jay.
A life-long reaident of Columbus, Mr. Jay is married to the former Eva Goldfarb, and has two chil¬ dren.
He graduated from OSU twice and haa degrees in Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of/In¬ dustrial Engineering and also Mas¬ ter of Science.
